Can you wallpaper over paint?

Question

I want to add some feature wallpaper to the living room but it's currently painted. Does the paint need to come off first or can wallpaper go straight over a painted wall?

Hi 
Yes you can add feature wallpaper to the living room without come off the paint.

Yes, you can wallpaper over paint as long as the painted wall is in good condition and properly prepared. Make sure that the paint is not flaking or bubbling and the wall should be smooth, clean, and dry before you start.

Yes you can wallpaper over a painted wall, however what the other decorators fail to mention in your preparation you must size the walls. What is sizing? Sizing a wall before is using the same wallpaper paste mix with water and applying it to the walls that you are papering.  Appl 2 coats and leave to dry over night before your papering.
